Title: ●Modernizing Spectrum Sharing for Satellite Broadband (SB Docket No. 25-157) 
Abstract:

On April 28, 2025, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would initiate a review of the spectrum sharing regime between geostationary and non-geostationary satellite systems operating in the 10.7-12.7, 17.3-18.6, and 19.7-20.2 GHz bands. The Notice would seek to develop a substantial technical record concerning modern and efficient spectrum sharing among non-geostationary and geostationary systems in these bands while ensuring that any rule changes do not affect the continued protection of co-frequency terrestrial services. The item would also grant a SpaceX petition for rulemaking and deny the oppositions to the petition.
